    I think you're secretly starting to love these Hondas! Little word of advice for ANYONE going to Port America - Get there first thing in the morning and BEFORE their lunch. I always get there the same day so everyone else hasn't been through my car and bring a jump pack because you'll definitely need it at some point. Be glad you didn't have to move 10 cars to get to yours haha... Hope you start feeling better soon Brother. Absolutely Love the Honda Z !!!

    4:52 It's a "Fire Brigade Operations Manager Vehicle", for the coordination of firefighting/accident operations.
    You dial "112" for Fire & Rescue Service and "110" is for Police in Germany.
    If you dial "911" from a Smartphone in Germany, you will also be automatically connected to the emergency services, i.e. fire Brigade/ambulance.

    As far as Montana reg with dirt legal goes, they’ll send you temp plates while you wait for your actual plates. And keep sending you new ones if they expire and you still don’t have your plates yet.

      I called LLCTLC and they told me plates is actually 4 weeks or less and they give you a 40 day temp tag which is awesome

    Just to make it easier and cheaper for any future cars, the terminal adapters you can use are JIS -> SAE. The small terminals are JIS, and the big posts are SAE.

    I know someone mentioned dirt legal and I’ve heard good things. I know you can get a Montana temp plate as you wait for your plate. The turn around time varies between the different companies. If they have to go through the commercial DMV process it takes a couple months, I use 5 star registration and I think they’re able to go through the local tag office but there is a little extra fees.

    Take it to get a scrubbin, that battery is out if a "08 prius" its reffered to as JIS or Pencil post. I got flamed in the acty group for it too since it fits the trucks and if i wana swap the terminals u can run a normal bci 51R or 151R. In my lil autoparts world that battery is a 9851P runs about 252 with a 18 dollar core. Since its a non us battery some places might be picky and not take it since johnson control or deka dont sell these state side. Keep that in mind when you go to buy batteries. I would say go lith-iron (not ion) also known as LiFe battery.
    If u want complete over kill optima makes a prius battery 😂
